As individuals age, they often face significant life changes and challenges, such as a receiving health diagnoses, transitioning into retirement, relocating from their home, losing a spouse, or accepting care and support. Adapting to these changes can be difficult, and many older adults struggle to embrace their new reality. This webinar will provide tools, resources and strategies to help support older adults through these transitions. Participants will gain insights into the challenges older adults face and learn effective approaches to guide them through change, with empathy and understanding. Join us to enhance your ability to provide meaningful support to older adults as they navigate life’s changes.
Participants in this webinar will be able to:
- Review common difficulties and transitions experienced by older adults.
- Identify factors influencing an individual’s ability to adapt to change.
- Explore models and frameworks to support older adults through life transitions.
- Discover communication strategies for navigating difficult conversations.
